Talk to our teamFour things Marvel IT websites do for you.
Four ways our approach to web design pays back over time.
Website Design Focus
Good website design wins customers. We design around what your business is actually good at, so visitors get the right impression from the moment they land, and have a reason to keep reading.
Website Design Customisation
Every Marvel IT website is built around your business, your industry, your customers, your goals. No off-the-shelf templates anywhere. The designs start from your input, then our team takes them from rough idea to finished site.
Website Design Simplicity
Simple beats clever every time. We design for the way real people use websites. Making it easy for visitors to find what they need in the first click or two. Easy for visitors. Easy for you when you want to update content yourself.
Editable By You
Every site we build comes with a content management system so you can edit it yourself. Add pages, swap images, change copy, without paying a developer every time. We also provide training so you know exactly how to use it.
18 years of building websites for Northern Beaches businesses
Over the past 18 years we have built tonnes of websites for clients and in many different forms too. Things like tradie websites, to doctors surgeries and fully custom online stores that fetch data from other wholesalers and inject it into the site with a markup.
Back when Jacob was starting his business, he spent a tonne of time learning the ins and outs of website design which led to him creating his own company’s site. Once clients saw it they were really impressed with its look and feel and thought the company was much larger than it was due to its professionalism. This led to clients asking him to do their business’s website and it naturally grew from there, 0 advertising.
The difference between Marvel IT and other web designers is that we have a solid understanding of the actual infrastructure and this is where it usually falls over for other companies. Because we are an “IT first” company and are also web hosts, we have superior knowledge on how to correctly host, maintain and secure a website far more than your average joe web designer. In fact we actually get hired regularly by web designers to configure the complicated nerdy stuff for their clients, cause they don’t know how.
Over the years we have developed and grown to having our own in house full time web and graphic designer that is constantly working with our client base to update, maintain and create brand new websites day in day out.
We also offer maintenance packages to keep your website fully up to date, secure and functioning so it’s always working its best for you and your business. One lost lead due to your website contact form being broken could cost you thousands (or even tens of thousands depending on your industry!).
A good website is one of the smartest investments a Northern Beaches business can make.
A website that ranks and converts pays for itself fast. People find your business through Google or through a link someone sent them. They land on your site, take it in for a few seconds, and decide whether to read more or come back later. The website design and the copy on it carry that conversation for you. Get them right, and your website becomes the sales rep that works 24/7 for the cost of monthly hosting.

Common questions about web design.
Quick answers to the things people most often ask before kicking off a project.
How long does a website take to build?
A standard business website usually takes 3-6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Timing depends on how quickly you can get us content, and how complex the site is.
Do you build on WordPress or a different platform?
We build on WordPress most of the time. It gives you the most flexibility and no platform lock-in. For ecommerce we use WooCommerce on WordPress, or Shopify if that’s a better fit for your business.
How much does a website cost?
Every project is different, so we quote each one individually. A simple 5-page services site is very different from a 30-page ecommerce store. Get in touch for a quote, no obligation.
Do you provide website hosting as well?
Yes. We host on our Australian servers as part of a monthly plan that covers hosting, backups, and maintenance. We also offer hosting-only if your site was built somewhere else.
Can you improve our existing website or do we need to start from scratch?
Both. We can audit and improve what you’ve got, fixing speed issues, SEO structure, and design problems. Or build fresh if that makes more sense. Either way, we’ll review your current site and give you an honest take.
